Surgeon Testimonial

Hilario Juarez M.D.
I had first started out seeing a surgeon at the other Bridges center, but then kept gettin told different stories of requirements and also my appts weren't being made and entered into the system when I make them in person or by phone. Also when speaking to the surgeon, he didnt go over much info with me in the consult. So I was talkin with a friend and she recommended me to her surgeon. Also like my fiance sd, dont jump on the first surgeon ya find, its like buying a car, shop around before buying the one your comfortable with. So I decided to go see Dr Juarez and he was very informative even done an exam at the consult, was impressed with that. And the office staff seemed to have their business together and know what their doing more appropriately. So sadly to say but also gladly to say I have switched to Dr Juarez instead. He made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much Dr Juarez and staff.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have tried every diet under the sun, on my own of course not medically. I was on the hcg diet for over 15 months and was a total loss of time and money. When I finally stopped I was back to my very beginning weight I started with.

Well, I have been doing alot of research, after getting lots of emails bout the surgeon I chose, bitching at me first over the surgeon I chose to put my life in his hands for surgery (exactly...it's MY life), I researched him and maybe 2 cases on him but nothing big. So if ya'll gonna contact me on here cause of my choice of surgeon, don't bother you will be deleted and blocked. Then I get these emails on the surgery type I chose. Yeah I had asked him for the DS surgery but my surgeon says he reserves those for people with BMI over 50 which I don't have.

So I got to talking to other people and doing research myself on-line on the DS, and have come to a conclusion, to tell him that the DS is what I would rather have since I read more up on it what it actually is and does. It wasn't explained into detail too much during the seminar what it is. Well I have decided to contact him and tell him I want the DS regardless. If I have to go in for another appointment that's fine too. If I have to take a vet referee with me to get this new appointment so be that too.

My 6 months supervised diet is just about finished as of May 9, 2012. So I have time from now till then to get this changed on my records. So wish me luck and will keep you informed and will try not to stay away so long at a time anymore. Have my 3 yr old grandson living with me now, and its like being a new mom all over again.
